Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition has expanded its zero-ETL integration with Amazon Redshift to now include 18 additional AWS regions, significantly broadening its availability and enabling near real-time analytics and machine learning (ML) capabilities using Amazon Redshift.
With this latest update, the zero-ETL integration between Aurora PostgreSQL and Amazon Redshift is now supported across all AWS commercial regions where Amazon Redshift is available.
This expansion ensures that more customers worldwide can leverage the power of real-time data analytics and ML without the need for complex data pipeline management.
The zero-ETL integration between Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and Amazon Redshift revolutionizes the way businesses analyze transactional data. Traditionally, organizations had to design, build, and maintain intricate extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipelines to move data from transactional databases like Aurora to analytics platforms like Redshift. This process was often time-consuming, resource-intensive, and prone to delays.
However, with zero-ETL integration, transactional data written into Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition becomes available in Amazon Redshift within seconds, eliminating the need for manual ETL processes.
This seamless integration allows businesses to perform near real-time analytics and ML on petabytes of transactional data, enabling faster decision-making and more accurate insights.
The newly supported regions for Aurora PostgreSQL zero-ETL integration with Amazon Redshift include US West (N. California), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Canada (Central), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (London), Europe (Milan), Europe (Paris), Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich), Israel (Tel Aviv), Middle East (Bahrain), Middle East (UAE), and South America (São Paulo). This expansion ensures that customers in these regions can now take advantage of the zero-ETL integration to streamline their data workflows and unlock the full potential of their data. For a comprehensive list of all supported regions, customers can refer to the official AWS documentation.
To use this feature, customers must be running Aurora PostgreSQL version 16.4 or higher. Once enabled, the integration allows transactional data to flow seamlessly from Aurora PostgreSQL to Amazon Redshift, where it can be analyzed using Redshift’s powerful analytics and ML capabilities. This integration is particularly beneficial for businesses that require up-to-the-minute insights, such as e-commerce platforms, financial institutions, and logistics companies, where real-time data processing is critical for operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
The zero-ETL integration not only simplifies data management but also enhances scalability and performance. By removing the need for manual ETL processes, businesses can focus on deriving insights from their data rather than managing infrastructure. Additionally, the integration supports advanced use cases, such as training machine learning models on real-time data, creating dynamic dashboards, and performing complex queries on large datasets without latency.
For those interested in exploring this feature, AWS provides detailed documentation and getting started guides for both Amazon Aurora and Amazon Redshift.
These resources offer step-by-step instructions on setting up the zero-ETL integration, configuring data sources, and running analytics and ML workloads on Amazon Redshift.
By leveraging this integration, businesses can accelerate their data-driven initiatives, reduce operational overhead, and gain a competitive edge in their respective industries.
In summary, the expansion of Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL zero-ETL integration with Amazon Redshift to 18 additional regions marks a significant milestone in AWS’s commitment to providing scalable, real-time data solutions.
This feature empowers businesses to harness the full potential of their data, enabling faster insights, improved decision-making, and enhanced innovation.
